It is with great regret that I announce a loss in the family....

Big Red's RB25 Passed away ealier today while trying to be revived from an incident at Sandown last weekend, unfortunately it couldn't be saved. It seems the oil pump was just not strong enough.

Anyway it was a good motor and has spent many years being thrashed about.

RIP RB25. :D

hehe

Have a nice day...

Yes I'm bored, is it home time yet?

Wow. So what's next on the cards then?

Yes yes its a sad time indeed.

I would have much prefured it to have blown up in a spectacular fassion. Somthing that would really impress even brisby. But no.. the only complaint for the motor was the defi buzzer and a little red light :kiss:

I kida like Adzmax's suggestion but i think Benno has a diffrent solution.

I think we will be keeping most of the old stuff and just bolting a Stegea RB25DET bottom end on to her.

Nothing too wild :)

Any one selling big injectors?

It went out in a weak mans fashion - i think its a sign of his manhood weakening overall LOL!

No holes in the block, no rods flying around... hell... not even 3.5 dead piston rings

I expected better from ole buckethead lol :kiss:

EDIT: Lets take it for a drive without oil

Im positive some kind of spectacularness could be restored in about 4 mins

My greatest fear in life, is not handicapped children, hell their mine what chance have they got of being normal. Not going blind from all those hand feeds. Not the Federal Police finding my Meth amphet lab out the back ... but my glorious RB20 letting go in a quiet manner.

What better departure then a hole in the block/bonnet, schrapnel in the driver's leg...complete with "fark you for making my last minutes on this earth so painful at 8,500rpm" stuff .

But, going with no more then a mouses peep should not be held against the old steed. Really it is only fair, as it has been selfless in its service to you, so its momentary lapse and desire to go quietly must be respected.... A minutes silence please!

So, from here we need a forged RB20 so we can hear that 6boost setup of yours at 9,500rpm. MORE NOISE PLEASE!

Either that or just throw in the towel like me and take up ant farming, my little colony is coming along quite nicely, thanks for asking.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
